City of Heroes - Zone Section Update

Earlier today, the official portal of Cryptic Studios' upcoming superhero-themed persistent state offering revealed a new zone named Steel Canyon. This particular section of gameworld is especially prosperous and stalwart against attack, as made apparent in this snippet:

Today, Steel Canyon remains primarily a financial district, though many jewelers still have their stores in the area. No single villain group has re-gained pre-eminence in Steel Canyon, though many compete for control of this wealthy district. The elemental-based Outcasts, the misshapen Trolls and the Asian Tsoo, all wage fierce battles amongst each other for dominance of Steel Canyon. So far, the conflict has resulted in bloody stalemate, though the businesses and residents of the area hope that the influx of new heroes will destroy this threat forever.

City of Heroes is a massively multiplayer role-playing title where players can assume the roles of superheroes to combat villains, monsters and alien invaders within the sprawling virtual metropolis of Paragon City. Currently in beta testing, the project is expected to ship during coming months. - Valandil
